HolyRoller

**HolyRoller** is a UK-based sludge metal outfit that’s been shaking speakers since their formation in 2018. Known for their bone-crushing riffs and unrelenting energy, the band blends elements of doom, hardcore, and stoner metal into a sound that’s as filthy as it is cathartic. With members hailing from Manchester’s underground scene, HolyRoller’s live shows have earned a rep for chaotic intensity, pairing raw aggression with a dark, riff-worshipping vibe.

Their recent tracks like “Rat King,” “Titan,” and the self-aware “HolyRoller” showcase their knack for marrying groove-laden heaviness with lyrical themes of existential dread and societal decay. Dropping music via APF Records (a hub for all things gnarly), they’ve carved a niche among fans who like their metal served with a side of nihilistic groove. Keep an eye on these riff architects—they’re here to melt faces, not egos.
